Director, People & Culture Business Partner for Telus People and Culture

Our team

At TELUS, we're looking for bright people who like solving big problems. As part of the People & Culture (P&C) team, you tackle all kinds of challenges. We are not your standard HR team. We embrace discomfort and have fun doing it. We're just as passionate about our team as we are about our customers and share an unyielding dedication to ensuring success for all.

What we'll accomplish together

As the Director of P&C Business Partner to the P&C organization, you wear several hats; trusted advisor, organizational consultant, designer, project manager, coach and leader to a small diverse team of direct and indirect reports. Reporting to the VP, P&C and actively engaging with the CHRO, you'll be an integral part of the P&C leadership team, with a mission to shape TELUS' P&C People Plan to ensure an efficient, best-in-class P&C organization and team member experience.

Every day you engage in strategic business conversations, influence leaders, and equip them to lead their teams courageously, fostering an environment of high engagement and inspiration. You'll collaborate with P&C leaders to navigate organizational shifts, nurture team growth, and shape a culture that prioritizes positive team member experiences while delivering exceptional business results.

You are a resilient, pragmatic, collaborative and humble leader with a great sense of humor. Your counsel blends logic, analysis and strategy in equal measure. Driven by natural curiosity, you value failure and vulnerability as essential components of learning and growth. Your passion for making a difference, combined with your unique approach, will play a crucial role in the success of our internal clients in creating better outcomes for our customers.
